Yang Kun hadn't expected Lin Chen's answer; he actually refused him? But drawing his sword now would seem too abrupt. A thought struck him, and he took out a wallet from his pocket, pulling out five hundred-yuan bills.

"Is this alright? Kid, don't be stubborn and end up getting yourself into trouble!" Yang Kun threatened.

"Kid, whether you agree or not, you're not getting off this bus alive." Lin Chen 'heard' the guy's threatening voice in his mind again. What he saw was Yang Kun with his back to the girl, but his gaze was fierce as he looked at him.

At this point, he most likely guessed that this was someone Lin Yiming had sent to kill him and silence him! It turned out that after his rebirth, he changed his initial decision not to take the blame for Lin Yiming, causing a shift in the course of history. Lin Yiming, who was supposed to wait 10 years to strike, was now about to make his move in less than half a day!

Perhaps the assassin was already arranged, a double insurance policy for Lin Yiming. If he didn't take the blame for him, he might simply have someone secretly kill him outside!

Fortunately, Lin Chen seemed to have awakened a cheat ability that allowed him to see into people's hearts, foreseeing the danger in advance. Otherwise, he might have died even faster in this life than before.

Fortunately, Yang Kun eventually left. Even after his threats and inducements, Lin Chen unexpectedly refused to compromise. More importantly, a uniformed police officer got into the car, and Yang Kun, feeling guilty, turned around and ran to the back of the vehicle.

After Yang Kun left, Lin Chen's brain began to work at high speed, thinking about the next course of action.

"You should listen to him." A cold voice rang out. Lin Chen turned his head and saw the girl beside him looking at him. She hadn't fallen asleep, and her stunning beauty startled Lin Chen.

However, a clear yet gentle voice immediately rang in Lin Chen's mind—"That person is obviously a thug. I am, after all, the daughter of Vice Mayor Ning Tao. Does he really dare to touch me? Once we get to the station, I have a hundred ways to make him kneel down and call me 'Grandma'! But what makes you think you can? You're just asking for trouble."

At this moment, although it had only been a short time, Lin Chen had already roughly adapted to his strange cheat ability. He couldn't afford to be unaccustomed to it now.

"Would the deputy mayor's daughter really take a long-distance bus like an ordinary person?" Lin Chen muttered to himself, harboring a slight doubt about this suddenly appearing cheat-like ability.

"Keep your voice down! How do you know me?" Suddenly, the girl's snow-white hand slapped Lin Chen's lips like lightning, instantly numbing them.

"Who is this guy? I've been hiding so well, how could he still recognize me?" Lin Chen thought to himself, but he didn't directly answer her question.

The girl quickly withdrew her hand, looked Lin Chen up and down again, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

“I think I recognize you too,” the girl said slowly. “Aren’t you the eldest son of the Lin family in Haizhou, the one they adopted from the orphanage? I’ve seen you in the newspaper.”

"Am I that famous?" Lin Chen smiled wryly, never expecting to be recognized in this way.

"No wonder you recognized me. But I'll keep your secret, so you have to keep mine too!" The girl winked, her tone playful.

"What secrets do I have to keep?" Lin Chen asked, feigning ignorance.

"The eldest son of a family worth billions is taking a long-distance bus. Who knows what kind of conspiracy he might be plotting!" the girl said smugly, as if she had already exposed Lin Chen's secret.

However, Lin Chen just smiled faintly and asked in return, "Then what kind of conspiracy is behind your deputy mayor's daughter taking a long-distance bus?"

The girl glared at him and said with dissatisfaction, "So what if the deputy mayor's daughter is rich? My father has always been honest and upright, and we have an elderly person with an illness in our family, so we don't have much money. Isn't it normal to take a long-distance bus?"

Without his superhuman insight, Lin Chen might have actually believed the girl's story. But after that simple insight, his feelings for her plummeted, and he simply ignored her and lay down.

"You're really strange," the girl muttered discontentedly, and lay down as well.

However, Lin Chen suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had remembered something important.

The vice mayor's daughter? This reminded Lin Chen of someone—Ning Jiaqi! Ning Jiaqi, who would be entering university in half a month!

This aloof yet stunningly beautiful girl caused quite a stir at her school. She was so beautiful that she naturally had many suitors, including several exceptionally talented men. However, none of them succeeded in winning her heart. Shortly afterward, a tragic accident occurred; as if the heavens were jealous of her, this beautiful girl passed away prematurely.

This is a tragic story about a girl. It was because of that tragedy that everyone learned that Ning Jiaqi was the daughter of the deputy mayor.

"So it turns out my life isn't the only tragedy. Why does God always like to play tricks on people?" Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh after learning about Ning Jiaqi and what happened to her afterward.

However, he quickly changed his mind: if his own life trajectory could be changed, why couldn't others'?

Although Ning Jiaqi harbored some secrets that no one knew... she was still a vibrant and promising girl, and it's a shame she died so young!

Yes! Now that I've been reborn, I will fight against this cruel fate to the very end! I will not only save myself, but also all those who deserve to be saved!

Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt as if he were filled with a burning power!

"Hehehe..." He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"He's sick." Ning Jiaqi muttered under her breath, feeling somewhat bewildered by Lin Chen's sudden laughter.

Soon, the carriage fell silent again. About ten minutes later, Ning Jiaqi gently got up, only to find that Lin Chen had already fallen asleep.

"The kids from rich families are just different," she muttered to herself, taking out her phone to send a text message. Then, she quietly lay down.

In the dimly lit carriage, she couldn't see the slight smile playing on Lin Chen's lips. This silence lasted only a short time before being broken by the noise of the other passengers.

Ten minutes later, a slightly noisy noise broke the tranquility of the carriage, preventing Lin Chen and Ning Jiaqi from enjoying their moment of peace. At the same time, other passengers in the carriage also stuck their heads out, curious to see what was going on.
